Performance

Our exclusive WinGuard® products combine heavy-duty window and door frames with impact-resistant laminated glass to ensure flying debris does not enter your home in the event of a major storm. A special silicone glazing process is used to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. Although wind-borne debris may crack the glass on impact, the interlayer keeps the overall window intact, preventing destructive wind from entering your home. WinGuard with vinyl frames meets or exceeds International Building Code standards for air/water/structural and small and large missile impact protection and has Florida State Product Approval.

What does all of this mean to you and your home? If you’re looking for hurricane protection, WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame.

Now there’s no need for inconvenient, unsightly panel, accordion or rolldown shutters, plywood or other hurricane protection devices. Even when you’re away, WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors help guard your home effortlessly against hurricanes, improve energy efficiency and so much more.

Benefits

More Than Just Hurricane Protection.

PGT’s complete line of WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors is engineered to meet hurricanes head on. What does this mean to you and your home? WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame. It’s effortless hurricane protection for your home.

But it’s more than just hurricane protection. WinGuard offers the most complete line of residential impact-resistant windows and doors. This means you can purchase all of your product needs under one brand and maintain the integrity of the design. WinGuard also reduces noise, fading caused by sun exposure, energy costs and helps provide year-round security against thieves and intruders.

Like Sunscreen for Your Home.

By filtering out 99% of UV rays, WinGuard helps shield your furniture, carpet, artwork and window treatments from the effects of fading caused by the sun. We also offer a variety of high-performance glass options that feature tints and Low-E coatings that help reduce solar heat gain, increase comfort and help you better manage energy costs. There are many ENERGY STAR® window and door configurations available.

On Jan 1, 2013 the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was passed. This bill includes Energy Tax Extensions for replacement window and doors in primary residences thru December 31, 2013.

Safe and Sound.

The laminated glass in PGT WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors absorbs sound rather than transmitting it, which helps to keep the world and its disruptions outside where they belong. In fact, the same type of glass is often used in airports and recording studios to significantly reduce ambient noise. The use of laminated instead of annealed glass can result in an additional perceived loudness reduction of approximately 30% for a standard mixture of aircraft, railroad and vehicular traffic noise.

Protection Beyond Mother Nature.

Breaking a window is the most common means of entry for an intruder. But with WinGuard, the same effortless protection that guards against hurricane damage also deters intruders. While normal windows shatter easily upon contact, the durability of WinGuard keeps windows in one piece. Whether it be a major storm or an attempted break in, WinGuard helps keep you, your family and your home safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Good impact doors, screen doors the worstI had these doors now for 3 years. The high impact doors work great and easily open. Your company did replace defected handles which I was grateful for. One issue I have had from the very beginning is the screen doors. I have a triple slider with two screen doors. They haven't worked right from the time they were installed. The rollers are too small for the track. The silver bottom track plate wobbles because it isn't anchored in place. Open one of these doors once or twice and it no longer is on the track and won't open. The other two screen doors one has to be careful opening them also. There must be a better system/design of screen doors then what PGT is putty out there.

Purchased 23 of these windows for my Florida homeThe windows are attractive and well built. They give us a sense of security as the glass is very thick!
Two windows did not work properly upon istallation, but I believe that was our installer's fault not a defect in the product. PGT quickly sent out a repairman, windows are perfect now.
Only minor issue I see is they are a little tricky to set properly when closing the windows an locking them. Interior window has to be pushed in to set property with exterior (top) window. This trick is quickly learned.
ALSO our energy bill reduced by over 30% after windows were installed - this was a nice surprixe

Great window....Insanely CHEAP SCREEN.Bought the slider model for remodel job in master bath June 2014. The vendor we bought from did not install because contractor needed to rebuild outside wall. Commented to vendor how cheap the screen looked, he said they make them flexible for an EASY fit. Screen was stored safely in garage, and just this winter, we decided to put it in. Husband gingerly handled screen, but was so DIFFICULT to get it to fit, the frame BENT slightly, and the aluminum dented with just normal effort to put it in place. Looks like it will turn into a MAJOR HASSLE to take off just to clean window. A beautifully cleaned window is a MUST, so not thrilled. Need to replace FOUR more windows, want to go w/PGT, but screens are a huge turn off.

Love the sliding glass doors, but terrible screenHad the sliding glass doors installed about 2 weeks ago. Love the construction of the doors & windows. Have to be careful with the step on the bottom - does not meet exactly with floor. Have to watch step. Also I do not like the screen. When you leave sliding glass door open - bugs and mosquitos can come in through the sides into the house. I was told by the sales agent that I could use the screen on both doors. When the doors were put in I pointed this out to the sales agent. He mentioned he really thought, when either side of the doors were opened you could slide the screen to the left or right and use the screen on either side. The Screens and the bottom of the frame not being level to the floor is very disappointing.

GREAT PRODUCTWe upgraded all of our windows 2 1/2 yrs ago. The sh500 series were the ones approved by our HOA. Peace of mind in hurricane-prone South Florida is priceless and the amount of sound reduction was an unexpected perk. Appearance was great as well. We did not experience any manufacturer problems and although this is a "product review", I must say that the company who installed them was as phenominal as the windows. We are now building a beach home out of state and plan to use the New Winguard Vinyl on all windows and French doors. Highly recommend PGT!!!

Great Option for window replacementWe had our entire 1972 house done with this window in June 2014. The produce seems to be well made, with good ratings. My personal experience has been a noticeable level of outside noise reduction. Love the tilt in feature for cleaning. I expect it to hold up in a hurricane situation but hope I never have to put it to the test.
AC doesn't run as much and inside temperature doesn't increase as fast as the day heats up. Very happy with the product so far. We no longer have to worry about a hurricane hitting there area if were traveling out of town.

Peace of Mind!Tired of storing hurricane shutters and losing cool air to the great outdoors, we replaced all of the windows & doors (replaced swing-out/no screen french doors with sliders) in our 1960 home. At some point, (1990's?) PGT windows had been installed but were not impact nor low-e. Big difference in the insulation value but the sound-dampening is not as good as with the old windows. The real bonus is the sense of security! We've heard stories about failed attempted break-ins so had the whole house including garage done.
